Seeking the God Who Is—Not the One We’ve Made
God has given Jeremiah and told him to use various examples of objects that are to explain God’s relationship with Israel and Israel’s lack of a relationship with God. Last Wednesday, we looked at the fact that God is the sovereign potter. He told Jeremiah to go down and look at a potter and observe the potter and what the potter did with the clay and how the potter could mold the clay and take a lump that was unseemly…
The Bride Awaits
This powerful message unveils the deep connection between the bride waiting for her groom and the Church awaiting the return of Christ. With fresh insight and biblical clarity, you’ll see Scripture come alive in a whole new way—and be reminded of the urgency, hope, and joy found in preparing for the Jesus Christ’s return. Ephesians 5:22-26 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ…
Jeremiah 18, A Call to Repentance
The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. 3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.…
Nehemiah 3, What Is Your Calling?
Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests, and they builded the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even unto the tower of Meah they sanctified it, unto the tower of Hananeel. 2 And next unto him builded the men of Jericho. And next to them builded Zaccur the son of Imri. 3 But the fish gate did the sons of Hassenaah build, who also laid the beams thereof, and…
Kings of Judah: Commissioned to Proclaim the Truth, Jeremiah – Part 8
Book of Jeremiah, chapter 14. We’re going to look at that this evening. We’re continuing to study the prophet Jeremiah who is called by God to speak to Israel and warn them during the reigns of Josiah’s son, during the end of Josiah’s reign actually, and then during the reign of Josiah’s son. When Josiah’s sons came to rule, remember they were not their father. They did not love the Lord. They did not follow and do what the Lord’s…
Kings of Judah: Commissioned to Proclaim the Truth, Jeremiah – Part 7
Thus saith the Lord unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water. 2 So I got a girdle according to the word of the Lord, and put it on my loins. 3 And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time, saying, 4 Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there…
Calling Men to Come to Him, Neh 1:1-11; Neh 2:1-10
The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace, 2 That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. 3 And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are…
Kings of Judah: Commissioned to Proclaim the Truth, Jeremiah – Part 6
Righteous art thou, O Lord, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously? 2 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins. 3 But thou, O Lord, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward…
God the Master Creator- Dan 9:24-27- Nehemiah 1:1-11
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. 25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and…
Kings of Judah: Commissioned to Proclaim the Truth, Jeremiah – Part 5
We’ve been going through the book of Jeremiah in conjunction with the study of the kings because Jeremiah lived and ministered during the time of Josiah and Josiah’s sons and he was one of three major prophets that are recorded in the scriptures that were used of God to minister to the nation of Israel as it was being taken away into captivity and as it was taken into captivity. Last week we looked at chapter 10 and in chapter…
The significance of women and why they are under attack.
This morning, being its Mother’s Day, I’d just like to take a look at different passages and look at them in light of the significance of women and why, really, the home women and mothers are under attack in our culture today. And I would like to begin by having you open to 1 Timothy 4. He’s sharing with him some of the things that Timothy is going to be facing in his life. He’s also speaking prophetically about the…
Kings of Judah: Commissioned to Proclaim the Truth, Jeremiah – Part 4
Jeremiah 10:1-25 Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: 2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4 They deck it with silver and…
